Hi, VMWare recently made some stuff open source. Is anyone familiar with it? As I work in the schools it looks to me like a virtual machine will be a bigger part of the solution then I had originally thought. My vision is we have volunteers come in and install a VM on the schools computers so students and staff can access it without rebooting out of Windows or MacOX. We would need to create a VM that looked for user identity and data on a USB stick or some other external medium. So my first question how hard is this? It seems fairly similar to what I've been calling a "boot helper". The next question is should we be looking at Virtual Box or VMWare? We will need to support MacOS10 and Windows2000!!!. That is what is in the schools we are working with. (They have non-intel Macs also, but I'm guessing that is hopless) The final question is who can help? I don't think people with VM experience are necessarily thinking to themselves, "gee, what I know could help millions of kids". Does anyone know any experts or where we should go to look for them?
